We've been "rowing" Helen Keller (Scholastic Biographies) by Margaret Davidson. We're really enjoying learning about Helen and her triumphs over adversity... the highlights of our study so far have probably been dissecting a cow's eye and making ear wax.... 
But we've also enjoyed other endeavors such as learning about the circus, learning braille and the finger alphabet, and about places such as Harvard & Radcliffe Universities, Perkins Institute, and Plymouth Rock, as well as the Steamboat.
Helen Keller has been an inspiration to all of us- knowing that she could overcome blindness and deafness and still accomplish so much in her life, reminds us to be grateful for the full use of our own faculties, and that we should be able to accomplish as much as she did with our own lives.
